PS5 has built-in WiFi 6 (802.11ax ), which offer faster WiFi (theoretically up to 9.6 Gbps, but much lower in reality), and Bluetooth 5.1. All of this will take some time but as soon as you have it set up you can start downloading apps and PS4/PS5 games. I am always a little puzzled as to why a new console or box leaves the system update as one of the last steps instead of having it download in the background while you set up the rest. However, most of the you will be looking at the TV screen to calibrate HDR, adjust overscan, select standby mode (Low Power, Optimized or Custom), accept data collection policies, download a system update (800MB+), and a controller firmware update. Setting up PS5 is not difficult and you can make the process a little smoother by using a smartphone with the PlayStation app to log in etc. ![]() ![]() In the box there is a power cord, the new DualSense controller, and an 'Ultra High Speed' HDMI cable that can accommodate HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. Nevertheless, we managed to fit PS5 (without its stand) into our regular TV bench. And it is certainly a curiosity that PS5 is this big considering that two rather large components were removed: The mechanical hard drive and the disc drive (in PS5 Digital Edition). It is certainly possible that Sony will launch a 'slim' version later but right now both next-gen consoles have gotten significantly bigger and bulkier, despite the threat of competing technologies that allow console games to move beyond the console – such as game streaming or energy efficient ARM-based systems. Consoles are now based on x86 hardware architecture, just like PCs, so perhaps it is not too surprising that they resemble PCs more and more, but it does give you food for thought," as noted in our Xbox Series X review. Of course also more powerful, but these things tend to go hand in hand to some degree. Nevertheless, consoles have grown bigger and more hungry for energy. Most people would prefer to hide such devices in TV furniture that is usually much wider than it is tall. The game console serves the role of a living room gaming device a console for a social space in the home. "If you think about it, it is a strange development. Has Sony managed to overcome the overheating and fan noise issues? We will get back to that. In our experience (two members of the editorial staff), it has been very difficult to have PS4 Pro in a TV cabinet – with occasional overheating messages on-screen. Especially the "jet engine" PS4 Pro has made life miserable for many console owners. We think it is worth zooming out for a moment and outline Sony's history as the company does not exactly have a proud history in this area. ![]() There are 'grille' openings the entire way around the console to let hot air escape. And then there is the disc drive, if you own the disc version of PS5. ![]() It will later be possible to extend the storage capacity by removing the side panels for access to the module port that accepts compatible NVME SSD (with M.2 or PCIe 4.0 interfaces). On the back, there are 2x USB ports (type-A), 1x Ethernet, 1x HDMI 2.1 port and of course power. You can use these to charge the controller or to connect peripherals. On the front there are 2x USB ports 1x type-A and 1x type-C. On the other hand it may not in its vertical orientation fit into other types of furniture. Compared to the Xbox Series X – which is also a big and unwieldy console – PS5 is taller but narrower, which means that PS5 in horizontal orientation will fit into TV benches more easily. The internet has laughed and cried, but we guess it is a natural consequence of the hype surrounding these console launches. It can stand tall or lie down, with or without the included plastic stand. Not just for its generation but actually the biggest game console of the modern era.
